Sicily museum hit as four Antonello da Messina panels vanish
TL;DR
Four Renaissance paintings—three panels from the Polyptych of San Gregorio and a double-sided Madonna with Child and Christ in Pietà, all attributed to Antonello da Messina—were stolen from Messina's Regional Interdisciplinary Museum, with thieves apparently bypassing alarms; investigators are probing whether the works were taken to order by black-market thieves, as officials condemn the loss to the city and art world.
